Friends

     First off, let me start by saying there is not going to be any rhyme or reason to my blogs. No set day for a new one. Just whatever is on my mind, whenever. I have the urge now to talk about friends. What a unique entity friends can be! Ones that you think will always have your back, aren't always there when you need them, and then there are the ones that you don't expect much from and they turn out to be there when you really need some help. I recently, within the last few weeks, got reconnected with a great friend from my past. I hadn't seen her in 20 years and it is like not a day went by. We talk to each other almost every day and got together once so far. It's so comfortable. And then there are friends I have known for quite a few years, speak to on a regular basis, and that comfort level isn't even close. I have been fortunate enough to reconnect with a few friends from my past over the last couple of years. One of them I didn't get to spend enough time with, he passed away in May 2011 from cancer, but I thank God for the reconnection we had. I'm really happy for the friends that I have gotten reacquainted with from years ago, you guys are true and have helped me alot! I don't know if I'm not as much of an asshole as I thought or if you all just forgot. Lol. Seriously, I do appreciate all the friends I have, whether they are work friends, old friends or new friends. And the ones that I thought were friends, oh well. Thanks for listening, Kevin

    Very much agree with you Kevin..I've learned that there are friends and there are friendly acquaintances..but the real tricky ones smile to your face and then toss you in your time of need..My most trusted friends were U.S.Marines..meant what they said and had each others backs ALL the time..

    You are so right Jim! I'm learning about the smiling ones, took me 44 years. Never too late to learn, I guess. Never served. Don't have any military friends like that, but I thank you and your Marine friends! Much respect!

    As we get older we learn the difference between friends and acquaintances. Learning who is a true friend can be a hard lesson but we still need both. I remember when I was younger being told when your older if you can count your friends on one hand you will be lucky. I have learned how true that is. I feel blessed to have you as one of them.
